Installation Overview Prior to installation of the scale it is important to have the proper location and application for the particular scale being installed. The typical procedure for the installation of scales covered in this manual will consist of the following: Choosing a site •...
Unpacking Caution: The scale platform is heavy and can be awkward to handle. Exercise extreme care when lifting the scale platform to avoid personal bodily harm or damage to the equipment. Remove the packing material and inspect the scale for any visible damage occurring during shipment.
Assembling the Scale Note that the four threaded overload stops in the corners of the base assembly have been adjusted to be tight against the underside of the spider tubes for shipping. Prior to use the overload stops must be adjusted to allow approximately a to 1/4” gap (dependent upon capacity) between the top of the bolt head and bottom of spider tubes.

The Weigh-A-Round Portable Scale and the Weigh Buggy will be shipped fully Assembled, typically on a skid. The overload stops have been already adjusted tight against the spider assembly at the factory for shipping purposes. These will need adjusted to allow approximately a 1/4” gap (dependent upon capacity) between the top of the bolt head and bottom of spider tubes.
Connecting the Indicator Depending on the type of scale ordered, the cable from the load cell to the weight indicator will most likely need to be connected. Scales that are ordered pre-calibrated or a typical Weigh Buggy scale will have the connection already made. Weigh Buggies are constructed with two load cells and require a junction box with summing board which is included with the scale.
Trouble Shooting The indicator does not operate (no display): - Check power source / plug • - Fuse in indicator has blown - Connection cable is cut - Incorrect connection to scale The indicator display stays at zero: - Faulty indicator •...
Load Cell Replacement If a load cell should need replaced, verify the part number with the spare parts list in this manual. Replacement cells should be of the same capacity of the cell that is being replaced. Lift the scale’s cover platter exposing the spider assembly and load cell. Unbolt the spider from the load cell, and then the load cell from the base.
